Tivo Remotr & New TV
 

Sorry if this has been coverd previously.

I have 2 remotes for the livingroom Tivo/TV. it's a bit of a laugh with the misses and i to change channels of fast forward.

Anyway just installed a new TV, one of the remotes is programming to the new TV ok the other seems to be playing up.

To programme the Tivo remote with TV it says press clear and TV and after it flashes green twice to proceed with the instructions. First remote went ok, flashing green twice straight away and volume and mute work fine. Second isn't flashing green twice. I've held clear/TV buttons for about 5 minuets and nothing, how long can it take or is there another way.

It only takes a few seconds, as you saw with the first remote. Does the light on the remote flash when you control the TiVo with it?

Try taking the batteries out overnight

Haha, after you mentioning batteris i took batteries out remote i'd manage to programme and swapped with other remote, worked a treat, both remotes now working and i can now resume remote wars with the misses. :)

Often with remotes it's not the actual batteries that are the problem but corrosion, sometimes not visible, on the contacts in the battery holder. Changing batteries dislodges it and improves the contact. Often just spinning the batteries round in their holder with your finger does the trick.

Note that your phone camera is responsive to the infrared LED (shows white) in a remote so take a look with that to see if it's emitting a signal.
